hi! I was hoping to randomly display one of the following four greetings each iteration, but when i run it, it says that I can't use "any". and when i try "rand" a similar problem occurs where the input must be numeric- how would i do this with strings?
thank you
??? Undefined function or method 'any' for input arguments of type 'cell'.
code:
X = {'hello buddy', 'hi there', 'good morning', 'top o' the morning'}
disp(any(X))

out = X(randi(numel(X)));

be sure to use the new rng() function, and seed it in a non-predictable way.
